ATLANTA (WXIA) -- There are two fewer trees at the state Capitol building in 2016 – after crews spent the New Years weekend taking down two old oaks. An arborist told state officials the trees were likely to fall and hurt people.

The trees came down after the Georgia Building Authority,issued a 57-page report on the health of the two oaks.

Workers used a 38 ton crane to take down the trees piece by piece over the weekend. The work came after a painstaking analysis of the health of the two oaks – which had shaded the statue of Joseph Brown on the southwest lawn. A scarlet oak had heartwood decay 36 inches deep, as measured by a tape. The report said the "likelihood of failure is 'Probable'" on both trees.

The victim was found shot in the chest in a pickup truck at Cone and Walton streets around 11 p.m. just blocks from the New Years Eve festivities also happening in the city.

Despite the injuries, Atlanta Police Department spokesperson Elizabeth Espy said the victim was transported to Grady Medical Center and is stable. Investigators are working to provide a followup condition and canvassing the crime scene for witnesses.
